ModNation Racers to get casual mode

PS3 kart game ModNation Racers is to get a new mode which makes it easier for rubbish players to compete.

That's according to community manager Ramone Russell. Posting on the PlayStation blog, he said a new patch has been developed in response to community feedback and is almost ready.

"One of the improvements is the addition of a "casual" career difficulty that has less "aggressive" computer-controlled racers," Ramone wrote.

"I was able to spend some time last week playing the new build. Let me just say that I had a blast playing through the casual career difficulty and I think those that have been asking for this will be very pleased when you can get your hands on it!"
